Captain Hindsight
Good Evening. Here we are at the very beginning of a two-week-long struggle for chocolate supremacy and confectionery excellence.
Already, we've been treated to the spectacle of both Time Out and, amazingly, Wispa failing to qualify.
Forty-six entrants have made it this far: the biggest field in Chocolate Championship history.
Seven groups to start, with the top TWO qualifying automatically, plus THREE third-placed 'lucky losers' (decided by votes cast, rather than percentage share)
Can the Crunchie retain its crown or will a new boy reign supreme when all is over bar the shouting?
Here we go:
Group A
Kit Kat
The original and, some would say, best version of the beloved Kit Kat family. Can this former heavyweight raise its game once more to compete at the top level?
Mars
Like the Kit Kat, would have been a serious contender in days gone by. Few chocolate bars sell like a Mars, but can it be NSC's bar of choice?
Galaxy
"Rich and creamy, this bar's dreamy", a rubbish advertising campaign once proclaimed. Dare the Galaxy dream of the prize still so far away?
Drifter
Named after a tramp, there are many depths to this chocolatey gem. Let's be honest, though: despite any level of hyperbole - it's not getting through the group.
Kit Kat Chunky Mint
Kit Kat Chunky + Mint = a solid seller. Consistent and reliable if not flairtastic and exciting. A solid third place may be enough for Round two.
